Same here and you could make that 6, he never stops running and had a calming influence on the pitch today unlucky not to score too.

Just don't see it at all with Nige. He's decent enough, and he's one of the few that've managed to get through the start we've had with his dignity just about intact, but he's possibly the most unambitious footballer I can ever remember seeing. Medi-oker wasn't just a clever nickname.

To answer the question, it makes no difference what-so-ever. He's not going to shout any louder because he's captain. Davies as club captain and Cahill/Knight when he's not playing is fine.

Knight? hopefully never starts a game again!

He's a good premiership midfielder. Not spectacular, makes mistakes, works hard. One of our better signings on a free.

it's insulting to watch Knight wear the shirt most of the time, never mind the armband.

We don't pick the captain to make the fans feel better.

Knight is one of our senior players and is respected within the squad. That's why he gets the armband.

You don't choose one of the consistently poor players to be captain either... he's also quite clearly incapable of leading our defence as a "senior" player so why should he get the armband? Wheater looks more of a captain at his age that Knight ever will.

Knight out of contract at the end of the season, I get the feeling he may be moved on
Pfffft.

I predict Knight/Wheater will be our CB pairing come Feb.
Cahill to Spuds and we'll buy 12 new fullbacks with the proceeds in the hope Steinsonn/Robbo's voodoo doesn't work on one of them

Reo Coker unambitious?

Bleedin' hell. Thats what we need.

He's easily been our best player this season. And he's decent on the ball, turned away from their players yesterday a couple of times to start moves off.

I do think reo coker with have the captaincy at some point during the season, because SKD won't play every week and cahill will be off in jan so there's no one else for me.

Wayne Routledge in the new FourFourTwo (out now, folks) says NRC told him to read Sun Tzu's The Art Of War (an Allardyce favourite). "Nigel would have you believe he's a deep thinker!"

Fittingly, you're the 451st person to suggest that.
